Growing Up Fast

Haley is growing so fast. I probably say that every time. But since our last post, she has done a lot more growing up. She has started eating cereal. She seems to really enjoy eating with a spoon. She has eaten rice, oatmeal, and new today, barley. Not only does Haley like eating with a spoon, but she also likes to play spoons, or drums, or...something.

Haley is a very loving girl and loves to hug and kiss her mommy and daddy.Here are a couple of pictures from her 6 month Sears photo shoot. Its hard to imagine that she will be 8 months old this Thursday.

Haley went to Thanksgiving Point with her Mommy and Daddy. She visited the dinosaur museum. She found some dinosaurs that were just about her size. She also watched a 3-D movie in the I-Max theatre about ancient sea monsters. It was really cool. She especially liked the glasses that she got to wear.

Haley even got to hold up the world in one hand at the museum.

Recently Haley helped her Mommy and Daddy (mostly her Mommy) watch her cousins Jaden, Josie, and Jamie. For dinner they went to McDonald's and played in the Play Place. She didn't quite measure up to be able to play in it by herself. She did get in a couple of the slides, and seemed to be really interested in the shiny hardware.


Don't let those frowny faces fool you, Josie and Jamie had a lot of fun at McDonald's.















After playing at McDonald's we all went back to the Jones's house where each cousin took turns feeding Haley. Then Haley dressed up in one of her cousin's dresses. It was really cute.

Haley has really come to like playing with a lot of her toys. She really likes Shine Bright Bear. Shine Bright Bear is usually helping Haley sleep in her crib, but she gets to come out and play with Haley every now and then. Haley also enjoys playing in her excersaucer. There are a lot of toys to play with on it. The mirror is a fun toy too!

Haley is a good laugher and is pretty ticklish. She likes to have her daddy and mommy blow her belly and give her lots of kisses on her neck.
So, Haley hasn't started crawling yet, but she does scoot along on her bum, and she scoots backwards on her belly. She actually started out in the middle of the blacket before this picture was taken.


Another develpmental milestone: Teeth! We noticed a tooth one Sunday morning in Sacrament meeting and the next day she suddenly had both front bottom teeth. They are pretty sharp. Just ask her daddy's fingers!

Among many other fun things, Haley has been swimming, twice. She really likes being in the water. I guess we should have known with how much fun she has in the tub. She really likes to kick and splash her arms in the water. She also had fun being a pirate at the family reunion in Byron.

Haley was very happy to spend time with some of her cousins during the JBF Sale. She got to spend a lot of time with Veronica, Stasia, and Kiara. The did a lot of cool things. Among them are going for a walk, playing in the sprinklers, coloring, and watching movies.
